I don't really know so much either, but I've been reading about it right now and the whole thing looks very antiquated to me, which I can't really see functioning in our world on any level. It would be kinda like us drawing from the old testament for all our laws.... a fair bit of it has no real relevance or place in the real world.

Thats why I laugh, when I hear people say stuff like, they are worried about Islam, because they want to bring Sharia law to the UK!
LIke thats ever gonna happen. Most muslim countries dont use it, how in the wold would it ever see daylight here?

It's interesting reading though cuz a few of the countries practice Islamic Law when it involves marriage and inheritance, so obviously it has a certain presence in many states. Fascinating stuff.

Yeah, thats true. They do that in my country as well, but its strictly up to the individuals to decide, if they want the law when they sign their marriage papers.

It's just a bit odd though, don't you think and it highlights how the Qur'an can filter into every aspect of life in these states. I find that worrying in the same way I would with any religion that has the ability or power to supersede independent or rational thought on a given subject. Just my opinion mind you.
